Not even enough respect for the rubes to try to hide the hypocrisy.

The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

The issue is just funding and resources. That's it.

Really the same as in education.

You have to pay for it, and then it works wonderfully.

There are many problems in Ontario health care, but today I got a same-day urgent care slot for the kid, in our town (which has been recruiting doctors). We were in and out in 10 mins, prescription in hand, no thought about money or insurance for the visit of course. Things can work. (The kid is ok)

I am convinced that I have a very special version of invisibility that only works in busy shopping situations.

I get walked into by all sorts.

Oh man that was the beginning of my 'I am old' awakening - the first time I mentioned 9/11 to a class and they pointed out that they were all in kindergarten.

I needed a moment.

I am 100% dirt old.

First of all, apologies for the relative silence from this account as we have been dealing with Certain Matters, although the Rumours of a Goblin Rebellion are at best Exaggerated and Scurrilous.

This Day in Labor History: October 10, 1917. The red light district of New Orleans, known as Storyville, closed due to the efforts of reformers seeking to eliminate vice from the city. Let's talk about sex work and how banning red light districts just made workers unsafe!

Alas that that one Curzon mission is so heavily classified.

Doesn't he still have an institute named after him? (Daystrom, not Chakotay. Obviously?)

Maybe genocidal computers are just not that big a deal.
